20:01 <raptop> Woot, more planets around ultracool dwarfs! https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.00794

20:01 <galois> [arXiv] “Detection of an Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting the nearby ultracool dwarf star SPECULOOS-3” Michaël Gillon, Peter P. Pedersen, Benjamin V. Rackham et al. — «Located at the bottom of the main sequence, ultracool dwarf stars are widespread in the solar neighbourhood. Nevertheless, their extremely low luminosity has left their planetary population largely unexplored, and only one of them, TRAPPIST-1, has so far been…»

20:27 <galois> [arXiv] “Gravitational disturbance on asteroidal ring systems by close encounter with a small object” Ren Ikeya, Naoyuki Hirata — «To date, rings are found around a Centaur (10199) Chariklo, trans-neptunian objects (TNOs) (136108) Haumea, and (50000) Quaoar. These discoveries suggest that asteroidal ring systems may be common, particularly in the outer solar system. Since collisions are a ubiquitous and fundamental evolutionary…»
